Brent Shawna S MD

“Amazing doctor who truly understands the adolescent. I've worked with her both personally and professionally. She is empathetic enough to understand parents' concerns; and as a true professional, she uses a conservative approach to prescribing meds so she can monitor patient progress and side effects.”

“I can not tell you how grateful my family and I are for Dr. Brent. Her compassion and knowledge and expertise has helped us through many challenging times over many, many years. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”

“We took my daughter here for an eval for school for her IEP. Dr Brent comes across as very intimidating. My daughter put her head in her shirt and didnt want to talk to her, and my daughter normally loves talking to adults. I told her all my concerns with my daughter, then Dr Brent spent about 5-10 mins alone with my daughter, and told me "I didnt see most of what you mentioned with her". Um of course you didnt, you spent 5 mins with her! I'm a professional counselor myself and know you cannot diagnose a child you've spent 5 mins with. And she seemed to dismiss all of my concerns as if for some reason I wasnt being truthful, since she didnt see it in the 5 mins she spent with her. I do not reccomend Dr. Brent if you really want a thorough and accurate diagnosis.”

“Phenomenal psychiatrist. I received an accurate diagnosis and have been the most stable I've been in years under her care. She actually listens to me and is even willing to work with me through college. Very proficient at her job.”
